Wisdom

Listening to Advice

The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that hearkeneth unto counsel is wise.

Proverbs 12:15

· · ·

Fools think they are always right, but the wise seek counsel.

Pride convinces us that our own way is always right, closing us off from the wisdom of others. True wisdom recognizes our blind spots and actively seeks outside perspective. Listening to advice demonstrates humility and protects us from costly mistakes born of our limited understanding.

Before making an important decision today, seek counsel from at least one wise, godly person.

Lord, humble my heart to receive counsel. Protect me from the foolishness of thinking I always know best. Amen.
